The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics has received a lot of criticism, and former President Donald Trump is not pleased. Many viewers found fault with the ceremony, which faced challenges like pouring rain, unconventional performances, and mishaps. Some went as far as calling it the “worst in Olympics history.”

The opening ceremony sparked various opinions

One clip from the ceremony that caught people’s attention showed a singer cradling her own head while performing with the heavy metal band Gojira, against a backdrop of “blood” red smoke and fire. This striking image led to various interpretations, with some claiming it showcased devil worship. However, it’s important to note that these claims are highly speculative.

There was also a scene that some thought depicted Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting, The Last Supper. However, the ceremony’s director, Thomas Jolly, clarified that the scene drew inspiration from the Feast of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. Jolly explained that his intention was to spread a message of love and inclusion, rather than division.

Despite Jolly’s explanation, Donald Trump criticized the scene during an appearance on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle. He described the opening ceremony as a disgrace and thought it was terrible. Trump expressed his desire that future Olympic ceremonies, such as the one in Los Angeles in 2028, would not insult Christians.

Donald Trump Jr. also voiced his disappointment with the Paris Olympic Games opening ceremony. He particularly criticized a segment featuring drag queens posed in a manner reminiscent of da Vinci’s The Last Supper. Trump Jr. lamented that an event that used to generate national pride now creates indifference.

While there is ongoing debate about the ceremony, with some labeling it as satanic and others defending its historical portrayal, there is no denying that it captured people’s attention. The opening ceremony may not have pleased everyone, but it certainly sparked conversations and discussions surrounding its artistic choices and symbolism.
